How long before I start getting leads from Google Ads?

Usually within the first week or two. Ads go live fast — the ramp-up period is mostly about collecting data on which keywords and ads are performing so we can cut the waste. You should see real inquiries early, but the campaign gets sharper over the first month.

Can I target specific types of construction work with my ads?

Yes, and you should. We build separate ad groups for each service — residential, commercial, remodels, concrete, whatever you do. That way someone searching for "home addition contractor" sees an ad about home additions, not a generic construction ad.

What if I only work in certain parts of East Texas?

We set your location targeting to match your actual service area. If you don't take jobs outside a 30-mile radius of Grand Saline, your ads won't show outside that radius. No point paying for clicks from places you won't drive to.

Do I need a new website to run Google Ads?

Not always, but it matters. If your site doesn't load well on a phone, doesn't explain your services, or doesn't have a way for people to request a quote — you're paying for clicks that won't turn into calls. We can build you one starting at $1,500 if that's the situation.

How is this different from boosting posts on Facebook?

Facebook puts your ad in front of people who might be interested based on their profile. Google puts your ad in front of someone actively searching for a construction company right now. The intent is completely different — and for contractors, that intent is what gets the phone ringing.

Why Construction Ads Fail (and What to Do About It)

Construction is one of the worst industries for wasting ad spend, and it's not because Google Ads doesn't work. It's because the default settings are designed to spend your money as fast as possible. Broad match keywords, no negative keyword lists, no location targeting beyond a big radius — that's what you get when you follow Google's setup wizard and walk away.

A construction company in Grand Saline has a specific service area. Maybe you're doing residential work in Van Zandt County. Maybe you're running commercial jobs across a wider stretch of East Texas. Either way, you don't need clicks from someone in Mesquite who'll never hire you. And you definitely don't need to be paying $15 a click for people searching "construction jobs near me" — they want employment, not a contractor.

We build campaigns around the actual services you offer. Residential remodels, commercial builds, concrete, roofing, whatever your crew handles. Each ad group gets its own keyword set, its own negative keywords, and its own landing page so the person clicking sees exactly what they searched for. Your licenses, bonding info, insurance — all of it goes on the landing page because that's what separates you from the guy running ads off a Gmail account. We set location targeting tight enough that you're not bleeding into metros where you don't bid jobs, and we adjust bids based on what's actually converting into quote requests — not just what's getting clicks.

What It Costs and What You Actually Get

Our ads management runs starting at $750/mo, and that covers the management side — building the campaigns, writing the ads, adjusting bids, adding negative keywords as junk searches show up, and sending you reports that make sense. Your ad spend with Google is separate and goes directly to them. For most construction companies in a market like Grand Saline, a monthly ad budget of a few hundred to a thousand dollars is a reasonable starting point. We'll tell you what we'd recommend based on your services and how competitive the keywords are.

You'll also want a website that can actually convert the traffic we send. If your current site doesn't show your work, list your services clearly, or have a contact form for bid requests — the ads will underperform no matter how well they're targeted. A full website built for a construction company runs starting at $1,500 and takes about a week. That gets you project photos and descriptions, a clear breakdown of what you do, and a bid request form that captures what you need to know before calling someone back.

Grand Saline's not a big market, and that's actually an advantage. Less competition on local keywords means lower cost per click. A contractor in DFW might pay $25-40 per click on "commercial construction company." In Van Zandt County, those numbers drop. Smaller market, smaller spend, but the leads are real people with real projects — and around here, that's the whole point.
